Selectmen have approved a request from Town Clerk Danielle Sicard to decrease polling hours for the June 11 special election.

Selectmen have approved a request from Town Clerk Danielle Sicard to decrease polling hours for the June 11 special election.

Polls, usually open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. during regular town elections, will be open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. for the Saturday special election on the Norton High School building project.

At their weekly meeting March 17, selectmen agreed the polling hours should be reduced. They argued residents would have more time to get to the polls on a Saturday, as most people with full-time jobs do not work weekends.

The move is expected to save the town about $1,400, according to town officials.
